In speaking Of wedding-rings we
learn that these important symbols
have not always been manufactured
from the precious metal, gold. We are
told that in lieu of ring the church
key has often been used. and Walpole
tells Of an instance where a curtain
ring was employed. The duke of Ham
ilton fell so violently in love with the
younger of the celebrated Misses Gun
ming, at a party in Lold Chesteyfieid's
hob sc that two days after he Sent for a
rarson to perform the marriage cere-
mony, but as the Duke had neither
license nor ring the clergyman refused
to act. Nothing daunted. Hamilton
declared 'he would send for the Arch
bishop At last they were married
with a ring Of the bed curtain, at 1890
at night at Mayfair chapel. Forget
full bridegrooms have been reduced to
greater straits than this even: in one
spur of the moment. to be cut out of a
piece Of kid. from the brides glove.
\ tragic story Of a forgotten Wedding
ring is told in the Lives of the Lind
says" When he should have been at
church, Colin Lindsay, the young Earl
of Balcarres, was quietly eating his
breakfast in nigbt-gown and slippers,
when reminded that Mauritia of Mas
sau was waiting for him at the altar,
he hurried to church, but forgot the
ring: a friend present gave him one
which he, without looking at it, placed
it on the brides finger. After the cere-
mony was over, the countess glanced
at her hand and beheld
~grinning deaths head on her ring.
She tainted away. and the omen made
such an impression on her that on re-
covering she declared that she was
destined to die within a year; a pre-
sentiment that probably brought about
its own fullflment, for in a few
months the careless Colin was a
widower.-Neu York Jetrelry Ners.

IN POLITICS.
Loudly Applauded Speech which was
N-ux nnfsvorpA..A gsnrv Of Seward.

A Loudly A~prlaudcd Speech which Was
Not Delivered--A story Of Seward.
All London laughed one morning at
the appearance in the Times of a speech
of the Irish orator, Richard l.. ShSel,
which he meant to have delivered the
evening before at a political meeting.
An accident prevented the orator from
attending the meeting, but, says the
Iouth's Companion, as he failed 10
notify the editor of the fact, the speech
was published, with interpretations OF
applause, !" ''hearty applause, much
merriment,h and great laughter. ="
Shiel had furnished the Times with a
copy of the speech several days before
the meeting, and had himself corrected
the proof and inserted the applause. -"
An accident not dissimilar befell
William Ii. Seward when he was -
years of age. His facile pen was relied
on by the Adams party OF western New
York to draft the addresses of their
conventions. In those days political
conventions did not whereas or re
solve;" they addressed the citizens.
a member of congress was to be
nominated in the Cayuga district, and
the Adams leaders had arranged, as
they supposed, to have the choice fall
upon an old and popular citizen.
Young Seward taking it for granted
that the convention would ratify the
choice Of the leaders, wrote an address.
In it he described the candidate as IA
venerable citizen of Cayuga, who had
long dwelt in that county and was re-
vered for his honorable career and
many virtues. Handing the manu-
script to one of the leaders, Mr.. Seward
left home for a distant town to try a
case in court.
The convention met. got into a
snarl. rejected the candidate selected
for them, and nominated young
Seward himself. Then being in a hurry
to adjourn, for it was now late at night,
they adopted the address without
hearing it read, and sent the record of
their proceedings to the weekly news
paper, with directions to insert
Stewards name in the address.
When the paper was published
Seward was surprised and mortified to
find himself presented to the voters of
Cayuga county as Il venerable citizen,
whose long and honorable career had
begotten the reverence of all classes.
He vaulted out of the ridiculous posi-
ton by declining the nomination.
